Think of it like Sub-woofers. when a car drives by and the windows are up, you don't hear trebble, you only hear the boom of the sub-woofers therefore applying the same analogy to the phone frequency would mean that the signal would be stronger and able to travel further than the higher 1900 mhz. This was acually the idea behind old TDMA. If that helps you understand the difference at all. I think it would be a great service to add to T-Mobile's network. You and me both dude, I wanna try it too 😁

Um, right, yeah. This has got to be one of the most idiotic things I've heard in a long time, no offense. But what good does 850 band do good to T-Mobile when they don't offer a single phone that includes the 850 band? Oh yeah, that's right, they want people to go buy phones from somewhere else, not from T-Mobile. That makes sense, I'd rather have someone else make a profit, not myself.

And even if this is true, how exactly would this give T-Mobile the largest network in the US? Alot of their coverage right now is there thanks to roaming agreements with Cingular and possibly other smaller GSM carriers to use their 1900 band. T-Mobile is miles and miles away from having the largest network in the US.

And this whole deal with buyin...

So, I guess T-Mobile is hoping everyone will flock and get one so they could make use of the 850 band, that makes sense! lol, not really.

The bottom line is that T-Mobile is going to have absolutely nothing to do with the 850 band.

I don't know this for sure. It doesn't require alot of common sense though to know that T-Mobile making agreements to use Cingular's 850 band is pretty pointless and impractical, let alone, it'd be a waste of their money.

Yes, they'd gain alot more coverage. But who'd be making use of it? It seems T-Mobile offers one quad-band device. So for the people that would want to make use of that 850 band would have to go out and buy a phone from someone other than T-Mobile. Unless of course they changed their whole line-up to offer quad-band phones.

They would spend so much money on something they don't need and on something that wouldn't give them that great of returns. And I'm sure T-Mobile is about making a profit, not losing money.

Would it be totally unreasonable that T-Mobile began offering 850 Mhz handsets? They aren't more expensive. I think they actually have to reprogram phones from certain manufacturers to make them 900 Mhz compatible. Adding another frequency all together is only slightly more expensive. I'm not saying I believe that T-Mo is going to strike a network deal with Cingular, because I don't think it makes business sense for Cingular, but it's not that outrageous or expensive of a concept for T-Mobile to implement.

Besides, T-Mobile gives all their customers ($34.99 a month and higher) a new handset every eleven months. That means it would only take 11 months to replace every customers handset with one that could take advantage of an expanded...

I didn't know that Cingular was so hard up. Adding Cingular's 850 Mhz would have to cost T-Mobile huge, and I mean huge, because it opens the door for T-Mobile to not only have the cheapest plans, but also a share in the largest network in the US. I think, from looking at the coverage maps, that it would be larger than Verizon's digital area (at least in most areas).

The only thing that concerns me, and I think someone stated it before, is that T-Mobile getting this close to Cingular could smell like another "merger" to some folks. And I like T-Mobile just the way it is (except they need high speed, network-wide data and that's it).

Feb 8, 2005, 9:20 PM
Did you see the 4th quarter reports? Cingular came out ahead last year despite the merger. And the 4th quarter earnings were larger than expected (which means they actually made money). As far as striking deals with T-Mobil, any deal would be by region and would require a lot of expensive and time draining foot work by T-Mob to launch. On top of thatthe 850mhz is really just a support frequency for the 1900, it's a piggy back to increase coverage in harder to reach areas (like buildings) so in order to take advantage of the 850mhz they would also have to contract to utalize the 1900mhz. It would be quite spendy.

That is true and false at the same time, although it does say this site that those phones are quad band, that is also not carrier specific. T-mobile's versions of those phones are not actually quad band. they are only tri-band. when you purchase them at a T-Mobile store (like mine) the box clearly say "tri-band" however, there are versions of the same model for other carriers (like Cingular) or european T-Mobile that do offer those phones that are quad band, sorry if this strikes a nerve, no intentions of doing so

Again, my friend you are mistaken. though currently in the U.S. T-Mobile operates in the 1900mhz band, our phones that are listed as "quad band" DO indeed have that active frequency of 850.

To name a few V600, Hp ipaq h6315, BB 7100t, the new BB 7290 (?) that is coming out.

Also, some of our phones such as the Nokia 6010, nokia 6800, Ngage, support 850 as well, but only as a dual band, and to my knowledge the Mot C650 we have is not the eurasion model, which means that it is a tri-band phone supporting 850/1800/1900.

The V600 offered by T-Mobile is not a quad-band phone.

The N-Gage QD offered by T-Mobile is tri-band, 900/1800/1900.

And the Motorola C650 also is a tri-band phone, 900/1800/1900.

They made no specifications about the Nokia 6800 and 6010.

The only phones you are correct about are the 7100t and the iPAQ.

Well, I'm sorry, but I am correct. I work for T-Mobile and am an advanced care rep. I work more so in wireless data, but it's my job to know these things. I also used to work for cingular prior to my employment with T-Mobile, so I am quite familiar with things. When I can read it on our company's intranet, and device support tools, and work with them on a daily basis, I'm not being mislead in any capacity. For instance, the V600 is indeed quad band, the Nokia Ngage is a dual band handset, not triband.

Well, I see that, now. However, I wonder why it's not advertised unlike others. That band is supported, with all of our device matrix's, and simulators, as well as any specific specs you look up. Also, it is listed as compatible for pocket roaming, and when put side by side in comparison is still listed as quad band.

I also did some internet reserch, and motorola markets it as a quad band phone, too. However, a lot of people from what I'm reading got confused when it was heavily marketed as a quad band handset, and that sparked some big debates about 1900 vs. 850. I assume it was taken off the website to avoid furth...

You're not crazy. The 600 was indeed quad band. Moto and Tmobile decided on one of the radios being disabled.

I think technically maybe it is still quad-band, although it isn't usable that way because of the 850 Mhz band being disabled. If that is the case, then he and Starr are both right. 😉
By the way, has anybody else noticed how the exclusion of that 850 band has made all the difference? The Cingular/ATT version of this phone sucked (I have one, and trust me it sucks) but my T-Mobile V600 is really a great handset. I haven't heard anybody else complaining about the T-Mobile version either.

But for the same money as you were paying for the 600 minutes anytime you can now get 1000. That's a significant difference for no extra money. You will only get that if you call in and ask for that. It won't automatically be given to you. Unless you ask for it you won't get it. I still don't see how some people can talk that long since over the holidays I was barely able to talk 1000 minutes and making an effort to do it.

I'd advise not mentioning seven o'clock when following up. The best deal in wireless is not seven o'clock nights, it's 1000 anytime mins for 45.99.

Instead of freaking out (heropsychodreamer) how bout we just wait and see. Do you really think that if T-Mobile was going to jump onto 850 mhz that they wouldn't offer phones that could do it? Look at what at&t did before Cingular took over, it is quite possible that a carrier like T-Mobile could change things around quickly to offer better service. It's simple business ( better service, more coverage, more phones = more customers = more money 🙂) If all of this is true that is excellent news. However, I think that just like in the past, they will test certain features in certain markets to see if they take(just like buddy-time) I don't think that this will all happen on March 1st but I think that in the future, these are features that T-Mob...

SOME of the bullet points we discussed were EXACTLY covering the topic of which the origional post stated. There was a 2 hour meeting for us CSR's, and they also brought in Retail reps for a similar meeting from around the city.

To my understanding Robert Dodson is traveling around with everyone visiting various locations and holding similar discussions. The point it to find out what we need to do better (for our customers) in the eyes of the front line employees.

Yes they do. Already has been discussed on this thread-We've already been through the V600, I'm not going to go there...T-Mobile's has the inate function, but from my understanding it's disabeled. We have the ipaq which is 850 enabeled, BB7100t, the upcoming 7290 is quad band, Treo 600, and also the Nokia 6010 and Ngage are single/dual band which support 1900 and 850.

Yessir-here it goes: just checked again today, now, with the exception of the V600 confusion, and yes it is a tri-band, all of our devices that are "quad band" or single/dual band where 850 is incorporated DO support 850 pocket roaming. It states though we have no spectrum of our own, our customers with such handsets may in certain places still roam on 850. It also goes in to specify that carriers we have roaming agreements with that currently have both 850 and 1900 (in the same area) cannot legally prevent our customers from using the 850 side if their device has it. Also, it specifies not all services will be available either while on 850 vs. 1900. However, voice services will work.

Hello! T-Mobile can't purchase this spectrum. The only way they can is if they purchase a cellular (800) provider. For most of the US the cellular provider is either Verizon (CDMA) or cingular (GSM.) Unless T-Mobile purchases cingular (highly unlikely) T-Mobile will *never* have their own cellular "850" spectrum.

The areas that your people bought were the same ares that cingular had to sell off to keep from haveing a "corner" on the market.

🤣 Cingular may have better coverage than T-Mobile, but I think Cingular STINKS! I recently heard that they changed their plans and services. Now instead of the weekend minutes ending at 7am, they now end at 6am. 🤣 People who had Unlimited cell phone data usuage through MEdia Net, now only get 3MB of data, and on top of that, they raised the prices and lowered the use of the features. I think that sucks! They are not raising the BAR, they are lowering the bar, causing Cingular customers to run to T-Mobile where they "Literally Get More". For $4.99/month T-Mobile gives you Unlimited T-Zones, and for $19.99 Unlimited Data. Cingular gives you:

My God, you are clueless. T-Mobile only uses/used Cingular's network in selected places, and Cingular especially used T-Mobile's in others, most notably New York City. So when 20/20 rated Cingular number 1 in NYC, guess whose network that actually was?

Also, ALL of T-Mobile's plans include free weekends except the $19.99 plan which includes 500 weekend minutes, and the $49.99 regional plan which includes 3000 flat rate minutes per month. Free nights are also included on virtually all family plans and single lines $39.99 and up, although the current $45.99 for 1000 minutes plus free nights and weekends is also available for $39.99 without the nights.

Regarding M2M, it is included for free on all family plans, and is a $6 add-on for a...
